Software updateswebOS 24; LG states four upgrades over five years with regional scheduling differences and security support through 31 December 2028. LG Australia's March 2024 launch notice confirms the range available now and lists 55/65-inch B4 March availability; release records that first confirmed series month, not a universal UK size-specific date.Launch webOS 4.5. Release year is conservative because LG's Australian launch table schedules 55″ and 65″ for March and 77″ for April, while the surrounding text says the range starts in April. The US schedule gives April for 55″ and 65″ and May for 77″; these schedules do not establish a single actual first shipping day.
